Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope your back is doing better, and you and Tippy are working your way back to sunrise jaunts.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Now THAT is a happy dog! Dad’s home!!

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

That li’l pooch looks like a toy. LOL
One happy pooch, that’s for sure.

[luvie]

The ears tell the story. LOL! So happy!

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

His joy makes me smile! Like a little kid. :)

[luvie]

We were stationed at Robbins AFB, GA for 2 years. Hubby was in the mobile communications group. He worked on generators tha powered electricity for coms and radar equipment in the field.

[radu]

Yep, like a little kid. But instead of outstretched arms, its ears are outstretched. LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...any rain in sight? Pumps still in good shape?

Not a SINGLE duck last night. I could hear them in the creek, but something must have been out there...never came up. All the corn I threw out last night was still here this afternooon. But tonight...LOTS!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I made it thru hump day...barely. The zzzz monster has been dogging me all afternoon. It WILL be an early night. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

A power guy!!! Really need those, for sure.

[luvie]

So they are! :) Love to see floppsy-eared dogs run.

[luvie]

He was! Yes, they are sort of un-sung heroes.

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy.

We had some rain yesterday and last night but are in the clear until the weekend. Temps are down a little now but not all that bad.
Everything’s fine at the well houses, fortunately. Just have to peek in on the heaters every once in a while to make sure neither has conked out.

Smart of the ducks to stay in the creek last night. Since there were a lot there tonight, everyone must have survived whatever was out there looking for supper.

[radu]

Short weeks are tough and sleepless at the beginning. Give in to the zzzz monster early. :-)

[radu]

Those floppsy ears can put on a show.

[luvie]

I’ll bet he was grinning from floppy ear to floppy ear, too!

Are the kitties still loving their hi-rise?

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

Too early to tell but we may be out of circulation for a while. Both of us have tested for the ChiCom virus. My case is not as severe as Mrs. spel’s but I will have to be caring for her. I am out of the woods already and feeling pretty good but my lovely wife has a real bad cough. I’ll try to keep in touch as time allows.

[luvie]

I had a “really bad cough” that turned out to be pneumonia. If her cough persists, get her to the ER...and then ask them to give her whatever ‘s necessary for her to heal at home where she’ll be safe. I don’t know about you, but I hate hospitals and what they do to people who are ill.

Prayers that both of you have a full recovery.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sending prayers of peace and healing...get rid of that cough, Mrs spel and feel better soon!
